hi all i had ubuntu 7.10 installed and thought it was about time i updated to 8.04 so i did with a fresh install but now when i go to smb://sharename/ i can see my shared folders from my xp box but if i try to open one i get a box asking for a user and password and on 7.10 i'd just enter my xp user/pass and i'd be set but now when i enter my user/pass i get this error:
